Wines made from Riesling grapes of Upper Galilee
Discover the best wines made with Riesling as a single variety or as a blend of Upper Galilee.
Crystalline, taut whites with vibrant acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, vineyard peach and mineral/petrol notes with age. Made as dry (Trocken, Alsace), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, late harvest). Star of the Moselle, Rheingau, Alsace AOC and Wachau. Also exported to Clare Valley and Finger Lakes.
Flagship sub-region of Galilee in Israel's far north, high-altitude vineyards (up to 1,000 m) on volcanic basalt and terra rossa, cool climate. Cabernet Sauvignon as a benchmark: dense and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, eucalyptus, spices and a mineral touch, firm tannins and long ageing — the country's most renowned reds. Round Merlot, peppery Cabernet Franc, deep Petit Verdot. Ample Chardonnay (the country's white star), lively reviving Sauvignon.
